Your tires will tell you if you need a camber kit. If you're wearing too much on the inside and your toe is within specs, then yes, you probably should get a camber kit to bring camber out a little and take the stress off the inside of the tires a bit.

Yes, you are correct. Camber is not adjustable on a TL. Thus the reason for the camber kit.

I don't know if the alignment specs would be different for the 06 compared to the 04. I know you said you found the 04 specs, but here's what I found in case they are any different than yours.

Remember 60 minutes in a degree.

A-spec alignment numbers:
Front Camber: - 40 minutes +/- 30 minutes
Front Caster: 3 deg. 17 minutes +/- 45 minutes
Front Toe: 0 mm +/- 2 mm

Rear Camber: 1 deg. 20 minutes +/- 30 minutes
Rear Caster: N/A
Rear Toe: 2 mm +/- 2 mm

I should add that after installing my A-Spec suspension, I got an alignment and my rear toe was 0 degrees, both sides. Rear camber was -1.2 deg and -1.4 deg respectively. I started getting some cupping on the inside edge. I'm going back to re-inspect the alignment and if everything is the same, I'm going to invest in the camber kit.

Cupping?

Cupping is usually caused by worn suspension parts, not a bad alignment.

Cupping is circular spots of wear on the inner or outer edge of a tire. If that's what you're seeing on your rear tires, then you should check your suspension for worn parts, assuming you bought the A-Spec suspension new and not used.
